The Blennerhassett Hotel
Overview
Nestled in the Ohio River Valley between the uncompromising beauty of the West Virginia foothills and the majestic Ohio River, the century-old Blennerhassett stands today as a reminder that it is possible to merge old-world atmosphere with all the modern-day amenities that make a historic hotel a genuine treasure.
The Blennerhassett rose to prominence during the Gaslight Era, as oil and natural gas elevated Parkersburg’s riches. The hotel’s elegant decor reflects its late-1800s origin, including lavish crown moldings and extravagant light fixtures, a period library and a third-floor atrium sitting area at the heart of the hotel, bathed in natural sunlight from a skylight two stories above. The hotel’s attention to detail carries over to its signature guest rooms and suites, which are outfitted with granite vanities, marble showers and exquisite linen. But its impeccable staff—attentive, informed and helpful—makes Blennerhassett the place where past and present merge, and all your needs are effortlessly satisfied.
Guests experience a fusion of past, present and future whether enjoying dinner, relaxing in the Library or gathering in the lobby.
